The Cardinals played the season under four different managers,
Ken Boyer (fired June 8
between games of a double-header against the Expos in Montreal), Jack Krol (the second game of the
double-header that same day), Whitey Herzog (June 9 until he was hired
as the team's general manager in late August, succeeding John
Claiborne, who was fired earlier in August) and Red
Schoendienst (from late August to end of season). After the
season, Herzog reclaimed the managerial job.
